Projector problems

Hello all,

I am new here and to using my Toshiba DLP projector with my computer. I have been using it for a few years to show videos via a DVD player using the yellow video cable, but I have never been able to get it to see a signal from a computer. I recently installed a PCI TV tuner and it works great on the regular monitor but I still cann't get a signal from the computer. I used an S video cable to conect the two and still nothing. I disconected the monitor just is case it was a dual monitor problem, even though the TV tuner is a seperate board with a S video out. I am at my wits end and to top it all off Toshiba seems to have stoped supporting the product. I would be very greatful for any ideas. This problem persists no mater which computer I plug it into!

Thanks

Glenn

Do you have a different source for s-video that works with your projector? Does your TV card have an s-video to RCA type plug adaptor? Might be something wrong with the s-video input on your projector or you may need to select it as a source.

Thanks for the quick responce,

I have never been able to get any source to work on the projector except the vidieo in (yello plug) and it has worked on several sources. The TV card has only an S Video plug.

When I have tried to plug a computer Laptop/Desktop nothing has worked.

I have a Toshiba TDP-S20 and it works fine with any of its inputs. I simply press the "input" button and it finds the source. If your description "I have never been able to get any source to work on the projector" is accurate then perhaps you should have taken it back to the dealer while it was under warranty. Sorry, but it really sounds like a flaw in the unit that needs service...
